Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of graphite production, and in particular to a method and equipment for preparing nuclear-grade graphite. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the national economy, the contradiction between energy supply and demand in my country is prominent. Nuclear energy has little environmental pollution and low demand for energy materials. It is an effective means to solve my country's energy problem. Because of its low thermal expansion coefficient, excellent thermal shock resistance and low neutron activation performance, graphite is an excellent neutron deceleration material for nuclear reactors. Its deceleration ratio is second only to heavy water, but it is low in cost and allows natural uranium to be utilized. Nuclear graphite is a polycrystalline material with a high degree of graphitization and high purity to improve the effective utilization rate of fission neutrons, and it has isotropy so that the material has stability in three-dimensional space under high-dose neutron radiation conditions. The prior art is to purify graphite with an inert gas at a temperature of about 2200°C to about 2600°C. So that graphite does not have an ash content of more than 300ppm or a boron equivalent of 2ppm. The boron equivalent of graphite (also known as "equivalent boron content") describes the neutron absorption ability of all impurities (calculated according to the type and amount of each impurity) and is recorded according to the ability of equivalent boron to absorb neutrons. Boron equivalent can be calculated using the method specified in ASTM C1233. However, such post-graphitization purification is very expensive. In addition, the purification process can only be used for surface treatment, and may not be effective for the internal purification of some already formed graphite blocks. Summary of the invention
